a not so new brown belt

So very late on this, but big congrats to Dan Settles on his promotion to brown belt back in spring!

New-ish purple belt!

Congrats to Kurt Volkan on his promotion over the summer! Yeah, this is really late... He's got a nice game from his guard with good combinations, plus some some interesting side escape/sweeps that work well for him.

purple belt...finally

Finally! :) A hearty congratulations to Mark Tung on his recent promotion to purple belt. He's been focused and working on his combinations and relaxing and it shows.

Also, a belated congratulations to Nick on his promotion to blue belt.

New brown belt!

A rather belated congratulations to Darrin Bartolotta on his promotion to brown belt! I was up in Rochester to teach a seminar a couple of months ago and Darrin was forced decided to test. The most grueling hour or so of his life perhaps? Perhaps, but he did well!
